How to prevent urethral pain in women?

The female urethra is shorter because there is no penis extending outside the body like there is in men. This makes women's risk of urethral diseases much higher than men, and the female urethral opening is not covered, which makes it easy for urine to enter the vagina and other parts during urination, causing gynecological diseases. For example, stinging pain in the female urethra is a common symptom of gynecological diseases, which can cause great harm to women's bodies. In severe cases, it can lead to kidney infection and cause kidney disease. Therefore, women need to actively prevent symptoms of urethral pain. Let’s take a look at how to prevent urethral pain in women.

1. Due to the special structure of the female urinary and reproductive system , the female urethra is shorter and wider than the male urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter. Therefore, women should enhance their awareness of self-protection.

Second, the female urethral opening is close to the vagina and anus , while the male urethral opening is far away from the perineum and there is a "spatial distance", so it is less likely to get urinary tract infection. The female urethra is very close to the vagina and anus. There are a large number of bacteria around the vagina and anus. Vaginal secretions are also a good culture medium, making it easier for bacteria to reproduce. Therefore, the way for women to prevent urinary tract infections is to clean frequently and minimize the number of bacteria. To reduce the chance of disease.

3. Menstruation and sexual activity. Menstrual blood is the best culture medium for bacteria. Menstrual hygiene, especially the cleaning and disinfection of menstrual products, is an important part of reducing bacterial invasion. Sexual intercourse can push bacteria from the anterior urethra into the posterior urethra and bladder through mechanical pushing action. There are some clinical cases where the disease occurred after sexual intercourse, which illustrates this point. Sexual activity is an important part of married life. Of course, it is impossible to "throw the baby out with the bathwater". However, in cases where the disease recurs and the cause is related to sexual activity, appropriate abstinence is appropriate. It is more important to take the following measures: drink a cup of boiled water before sex to increase urine volume; go to the toilet to urinate after sex to flush and discharge the bacteria pushed in by sexual action before it invades the mucosal tissue. If these two methods still fail to prevent urinary tract infection, you can take antibacterial drugs once after sex (the specific drugs and dosage are guided by the doctor). The prevention effect is ideal and the side effects are minimal.
